On an aIteluUou uearIy Io[ty years
ago." says Logan, "a party of gentlemen
were riding from Abbeville village
toward the Calhoun settlement, and when
approaching the place now known as the
Cabins, they passed dwelling near the
wayside just at the moment when little
girl, whom they had seen to cross the
road some distance before them, gave a
piercing shrek and ran back into the
house in an agony of pain and fright.
Perceiving that something serious had
occurred they hastily alighted to ascer.
tain the matter; and entering the room
found the child stretched upon the bed
and already a corpse. She had lived
long enough, however, to whisper to her
mother that snake had struck her while
she was in the act of gathering frewood
on the roadside. The party instantly
sought the spot and there discovered a
large specimen of the horn snake which
they dispatched. The skin of this ser.
pent was stuffed and preserved by an
intelligent gentleman (Dr. Parker) of
that neighborhood; and it was long an.
object of great curiosity at his residence,
and afterwards at Old Cambridge, where
it was last seen."
